Hard to believe that just a week ago Denver was covered in more than a foot of snow.  Today they will see sunshine and a high near 80.  Snow is also melting on top of Mount Kilimanjaro but at a slower pace.  It could be all gone in as little as 22 years though according to a new study.

As the ice melts, more of the darker colored surface is exposed which absorbs more sun and leads to further melting.  The people near Mount Kilimanjaro depend on that meltwater for drinking water.  Check out this article for more information.

My daughter wants to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with me.  She was party inspired by a year of study there and a new book, "Don't Let Her Go".  We have a little more than 20 years to make the climb if we want to see the snow on top.

Speaking of snow...   We are less than two weeks away from the average date of our first measurable snow, November 16th.  No snow in the forecast through the weekend though as we warm into the 60s on both Saturday and Sunday.
